Assistive technology services consults are available to all American
University students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The use of assistive
technology as an accommodation for a disability in the classroom or for
testing may also be requested. If you wish to request such
accommodations, please follow the procedures for documenting a
disability found at http://www.american.edu/ocl/asac/For-Students-Eligibility.cfm.

American University computers with assistive technology typically have
Kurzweil 3000, Dragon Naturally Speaking, Natural Reader and Zoom Text
installed on them. We also offer Note taking technology, such as Live scribe pen and Audio note taker. With approval, we may be able to install additional
software to support the needs of students, staff, and faculty.

These computers are only available for testing accommodations. Speak with the ASAC Accommodations Coordinators for more information. They can be reached at 202.885.3489 or by email at exams@american.edu.
